Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: What I am grateful for today!

I'm thankful my job always follows my 5-11 that I wrote on my avalability form and that I didn't even have to tell them about my ibs. ALso that I get 2 days a week off work,becaue I cook at night on those days and do a quick cleaning of my room before bed.

I'm grateful I live at my dad's house rent free with my own bedroom and computer and internet,tv with cable in my room. I'm grateful they give me rides to work and wal mart because I could never aford to have a vehicle and if they didn't I'd rely on my boyfriend every week,that would cut into the short amount of time our schedules work out so we can hang out probly 3 hours a week outside of work.

I know all about wanting to cook and do things for myself and not having energy or time. It's like I can still wake up feeling like I slept good and by the time its time to go to work at 5pm I can feel like I need a nap,so I go to bed less than an hour after I get home,but sometimes don't get enough sleep and get even more tired cuz ibs makes me get up early. SOmetimes I feel all my bloating when I go to bed makes me not get well rested or a deep sleep and that I dream alot and wake up crabby and not feeling right..By the time I clean my room on my days off work its after 9pm sometimes 10 or 11 and I'm so tired but I force myself to at least vacum my floor and put stuff in piles and make sure nothing is gonna fall off my desk or dresser and make sure I get all the dishes out of here that piled up during the week. I make ibs safe recipes so I don't go crazy and crave what I can't have too much so I don't give in. It really does get expensive,especially when I plan on cooking something and some of the ingredients go bad before I have the time to do it when I'm not feeling terrible!
